Notes-Personal
Mention.
Society has not exerted itself to any
great extent during the past week, very
little of any particular Importance having
occurred in social life. Mr.. Horace Lewis
in Dumas melo-drama, 1.-THE Count OF
Monte Cristo" drew good houses at the
Grand Opera House in the early part OF
the week. The annual ball OF the Ancient
Order of Hibernians took place Monday
evening at Miners Union Hall, and a dane
ing party under the auspices of. Miriam
Lodge No. 2. Daughters OF Rebekah, was
held at Odd Fellows Hall last Friday
evening. This is about all in social affairs
we have to record. Progressive euchre
seems to have lost prestige in the East as
it has in Butte and a new game called
PROGRESSIVE ANGLING"
which has been lately introduced is taking
it's place and bids fair to become very pop
ular. It is simple and easy to understand.
Like progressive .euchre, it is played at
small tables, four at each. A large gilt cir
| Gle is placed upon the table forming apond,
in the center of which is placed a numbero OF
gold and silver fish with a small ring in the
| mouth OF each. the players are then pro-
,,:lol NTH n r,1 with hnnk and line Qf.
tached, and at a signal from the head table
| the game begins. When the fish are all
| hooked those having the greatest num-
Der s'progress'' to the next table.
| The tally is kept rs in euchre, with silver
and gold fish instead OF stars, and prizes
are awarded to the best anglers. 1t re-
quires an adroit and steady hand to landa
! fish outside the circle, using only one hand,
as is the rule.
FASHION IN DANCING.
We learn from reliable authority that the
newest fashion in dancing this season will
be faster time. The slow, dignifed, grace
| full dancer must hustle from now on or
stand regarded as a chestnut. There will
| be q decided hop in all round dances, even
in the waltz, and those who want to dance
fashionably must prepare for activity.
l lOc u0W LluC has Occu 1uOto OuNCu III DOo0
| ton and New York, and to show how
fashion popularizes everywhere, slow and
stately dancing is virtually done for. There
is not so much that is new in dancing as in
| the style itself of dancing. The newest
quadrilIe is called the society. The York
! will be the popular new dance. 1t was in
PRODUCED last winter and will be the rage
this year.
FASHION NOTES.
The ribbon trimmings for bridal loaves
are the rage, done in water-color sketches
or needle painting. Fancy swings through
! the color scale and there is nothing obliga-
tory about the virgin white. In place Of
the deep passionate tone OF red, crab,
rose, carnation or coral pink is used and
the favOrite color of the bride ornaments
her cake.
Many OF the tasteful street costumes are
made with three colors. The skirts are
plain in design, Of striped velvet, with two
or more colOrs in the pattern. The over.
dress, generally a.. %polonaise, is made OF
equal parts of the two colors predominant
ing in the skirt, thegoods being cashmere or
lightweight broadcloth.
With the fob are worn, dependent from
the watch by dainty wire chains; d glove
b%uttoner, Observation-Disclosures, initial
bangle, a jeweled fly or bug and a miniature
powder-horn. The latter is a unique hand
and glove pungent OF etched oxidized
silver, the tip of which terminates in a
small golden ball.
Some Of the handsome tea gowns lave
the medieval sleeves-Otherwise known as
angel, lined with delicate plmsh. One OF
the ideals, an iris purple velvet, had the
sleeves lined with pale heliotrope silk and
reached to the floor. Inside were close
sleeves made OF the same shade of crepe.
There are no medium-length street-wraps.
Jacket or long coat is the stereotype in
quiry with the clerks in the cloak depart
ment.
With plain velvet or plush skirts an over
dress or broadcloth is exceedingly stylish
pinked round the bottomin some rosette
pattern less than two inches wide. The
finish is welcomed as a relief and small risk
is taken since it may be cut off at any time
and a facing substituted.
A decidedly pretty effect is attained with
a skirt and basque fancifully made OF some
sombre shade, as reddish-brown, golden
green, fawn, or blue cloth, and an overskirt
fussily made OF plaid silk, with a black to
correspond with the plain effect.
The red diamond, a lustreless colored
stone, SO plenJifully found in India, is
among the novelties of the jewelry trade.
They are selected, of all sizes, and set in
silver for bonnets, hair and garter orna-
ments.
Lily-of-the-valley handkerchiefs are en-
broidered and scented with that delicate
little blossom.
Mahogany broadcloth and green plush is
one Of the fashionable combinations for a
theatre outfit.
Braiding is used on the panels, vest and
sleeves of fashionable afternoon dresses.
Small muffs and long boas and stoles will
be worn next month.
